Hi,
there are several similar feature request for GLideN64, like: "please add an option to chose which screen to go full screen on". Many users have several monitors, but GLideN64 goes full screen to the primary monitor only. I still don't know, how to select non-primary monitor for ...

Hello,

Hi all!
* You surely already know that Rare’s unreleased N64 game Dinosaur Planet has leaked. Unlike many other Rare's games, this one uses standard microcode from Nintendo. Thus, there were no need to decode it to run it in HLE mode. There was only one problem with graphics: dynamic shad...

Pixel coverage is the amount of the pixel which is covered by a primitive. Pixels inside of a primitive have full coverage, pixels outside of the primitive have zero coverage, pixels on the edges of the primitive have partial coverage. Pixel coverage is used for anti-aliasing. N64 games also may ...

Sim City 64 is probably the last game, which until now worked correct only in Low-Level Emulation mode. Most of geometry disappeared in HLE. It was very strange because Sim City 64 uses the same microcode as Kirby 64, which has no such issues. Dump of display list also looked correct, with no unk...
